Configure a X-Lite Softphone

X-Lite is a softphone client, created by counterpath, which can be used to make and receive calls over the internet through a next generation carrier like Telnyx! X-Lite can be used on Windows or Mac OS platforms only.

First, you'll need to have setup a credentials based connection in the Telnyx Mission Control Portal. Once you've done this you should assign this connection to a DID and outbound profile in order to make and receive outbound calls. This is the username and password you will use to register X-Lite with Telnyx.

1. 1Download - Start by downloading the latest version of X-Lite.
2. 2Installation - Install the application by following the guide in the counterpaths resource centre.
3. 3Configure your connections in the Telnyx Mission Control Portal.

Once you've configured your Telnyx account, you're ready to start your setup of your X-lite softphone.
